I remember as a kid my boy scout meeting were at the American legion. After meetings we would sneak out the back and go over to the bar side when we were waiting for parents to pick us up. They would fry up smelts on Wednesdays and the lady would give us a basket of fried smelts. It was my favorite day.

[@maximuskiowa7393]

I grew up in Arizona so fresh fish is rare but my questions is: The bones are they a lil crunchy? Do you even notice em? I'm guessing it gives some unique texture.

[@taranorton640]

I must say I have been watching your videos all weekend, non-stop and here it is 2:40 a.m. I use to trout fish in my younger years all the time. We would go smelting in Dresdan at Smitty's smelt shacks. Big river smelts! I am now 68 yrs old and living in Freeport. Born in Lew., raised in Auburn.

When I was a kid I went “smelting” with my Grandpa and Dad. We would dip nets in the River or lake (usually Superior) now and then while people stood around laughing and partying until eventually someone pulled out a huge net full and yelled, “They are running!” My Dad, Grandpa and everyone else would just dip huge nets on the end of poles and pull up smelt and dump them into huge 20 gallon brand new garbage cans. Entire towns full of people around the UP would have smelt fries from these catches everyone would share.

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

ya now you can still dip net them in the spring when there running 2 quarts a day i think 🤔 I missed it this year definitely going out for that next year !!!

[@christianpilon4350]

I love all the cute and editing in the videos I know skill when I see it! Hope you have a great day

[@TheRealColt]

13:36 minute mark. I can agree with Zach, making your own lures/ sabiki rigs is overwhelmingly pleasant. And boy when they work better than the bought alternatives it’s a special type of satisfaction achieved. I make bigger daylight sabiki‘s for pier fishing for Atlantic mackerel. Imho thee best patterned and most veracious shoaling predatory fish. Beautiful when cooked or smoked and incredible returns when rendering for oil.

[@jeffmoore5672]

Man Zach you got me use to watching all your cool videos and now there's nothing bud what gives WE NEED MORE LOL

[@hunterwebber6025]

Bakers brothers is the place to be. Been slow there this year, used to catch bucket fulls. Been hammering the smelt way down river

[@JohanHasslevall]

This is amazing! In the parts of Sweden where I'm from we call them "Slom" and we also fry them with a quick dunk in flour and then batter. It's a delicassy here but we usually catch them when they come up the river with a special net with a long handle. Easy as it gets when you time it correctly! We also say they smell like cucumber but maybe that's not just us.

I am use to dipping for my smelt about waist deep and six feet off shore. Usually run from mid-night to dawn fill up a metal garbage can or six if they really thick. Freeze'em for next winter fish fry. That is a true Michigan spring tradition.

Pellet grills are the way to go. I love lump charcoal in eggs but really love the control and consistency of a pellet smoker/grill. You can get that thing super hot for searing steaks or slow smoked big briskets or several racks of ribs, whatever.

[@Stevo9999]

Fowler, I love your content! To get an effective pan toss, instead of visualizing the food coming back into the pan, just do a quick forward and then back motion, without tilting the pan in any direction! It will work 100% of the time!

[@Fishin-mission1]

Thats crazy!! I'm waiting for the smelt to run here in washington state if we get a season.
